The art of gesture and disruption in art
The Maison de la Danse is bringing us a rich and varied season, mixing together creation, urban dance, circus arts and more with works from the repertoire.
The special programme ‘Archipel Postmodern’ will pay homage to the American post-modern dance repertoire.
This avant-garde movement, which began in the 1960s, saw the emergence of some of the twentieth century’s most prominent choreographers, such as Trisha Brown and Merce Cunningham.
The Maison de la Danse will be presenting several major pieces by these two choreographers in collaboration with the Lyon Opera Ballet.
